I just skimmed the article and didn't see anything about the OS they used. I'm betting that if they ran on Vista, they primarily use IE8 on that system. And last I heard Vista actually improves performance of applications based on how often they are used. Would this speed up overall performance or only start-up performance?

And what exactly is it when a person does not give you the information you want, so you torture them? A birthday present? It's "punishment" which is not equal to "justice". I say that anyone that says what is done is not torture should have to endure it. Take that military guy that was voluntarily water-boarded for something like 18 seconds. He said he still is afraid, and that anyone who has it done WILL say it's torture. How can you argue with that? Try it first, then say it's not torture.

There have been console programs for *nix that do this for YEARS!
